How to Make Friends. ENTER THE SITE Technology has created new and exciting ways to communicate. But is the social media craze affecting our friendships? How can we make more real friends? With a computer, tablet or smart phone today we can share photos, thoughts and the experiences of the moment with family and friends at any time. With a quick search, it is possible to find and reconnect with friends from years ago and even befriend people we’ve never met face-to-face. The numbers of social network “friends” can grow to the point where one individual quipped that he has more friends on Facebook than he does in real life! More and more research is showing the impact social media and “digital friends” can have on our ability to relate to others in person. But even aside from these modern challenges, how to make friends has been a perennial question of vital interest to people through the ages. Feelings of loneliness can be an issue for people of all ages, even when they have people around. (See more in our article “The Loneliness Epidemic.”) What does the Bible say about how to make and be a good friend? To make friends, be friendly! Everyone wants to have friends who are loyal and true, but not everyone knows how to have or be such a friend. The Bible teaches the importance of treating others the way we want to be treated—and we all appreciate others who are friendly (Matthew 7:12, Proverbs 18:24). People who make friends easily are those who express an interest in others and in what they are doing. By asking questions and showing interest in others, you make them feel welcomed and appreciated, helping them feel their efforts are worthwhile. Friendly people will not pass up the opportunity to let others know when they do something well. They realize how much it encourages them to be praised for their efforts, and they try to praise others too. A friend is encouraging. Wise King Solomon noted, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. … Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, 12). The impact of well-timed encouragement can be tremendous. I can remember talking to a less popular classmate at school after he had a run-in with the class bully. “Don’t worry about him,” I said. “He’s just jealous of your grades in class.” A couple more times I offered encouragement when I saw him looking forlorn. What a response I got! We began doing almost everything together. Later on, this fellow introduced me as his “best friend.” The incident taught me how important it is to show concern, and to this day we are firm “best friends”! Be trustworthy. What kind of people do others want to have around them? Those they can trust and rely on. Do others see you as trustworthy? The way you live your life, the standards you abide by, will create an impression on others. Jesus confirms this: “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. … Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14, 16). Never compromise your integrity, standards or beliefs because you think someone will not approve of you for following God’s way. If the person is a worthwhile friend, he or she will appreciate your honesty and uprightness. If not, then he or she is not a good type to have as a friend! Do you bear grudges? Humanly speaking, it can be very difficult not to hold on to hurts and bear a grudge. The apostle Paul exhorted, “Do not let the sun go down on your wrath” (Ephesians 4:26). If you have a problem with someone, approach the person straight away and settle the matter. Then move on without dragging the offense with you. Coupled with forgetting grudges is forgiving others.
